<p>Our proposals are for a common rulebook for goods, covering those rules necessary
to ensure that there is frictionless trade at the border, alongside a business-friendly
facilitated customs arrangement. This is in the interest of both EU and the UK and
will enable us to protect integrated supply chains and meet our joint commitment on
the Ireland-Northern Ireland border.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>As part of the
agreement, the UK would also seek participation in relevant EU technical committees
and agencies that have a role in designing and implementing rules that form part of
the common rulebook. Where the UK has chosen to apply a common rulebook Parliament
would have a lock on incorporating rules into the UK legal order, recognising that
choosing not to pass the relevant legislation would have consequences.</p>
